Affidelice

Artisanal CheeseClock Pairing Tool

Affidelice is a washed-rind cow's milk cheese from the Burgundy region of France; it is very similar to Epoisses, which is made is made by the same creamery. Its name, Affidelice, comes from the marriage of two words: affiné (ripe) and delice (delight). Affidelice is soft, with a moist, terracotta-colored rind, and is contained in a small, wooden box. Here, at the Artisanal Premium Cheese Center, we continue the maturation process, washing Affidelice with Chablis. The resulting cheese has a soft, pungent, spoonable paste and a satiny texture. Affidelice is a versatile pairing partner for many wines. We especially recommend that you try it with Chardonnay or Champagne. One piece weighs approximately 7 ounces.
